Although our fashionable jewelry pieces may not necessarily be diamond studded or 24K gold, they still need proper care to last and continue to look beautiful. Here are a few tips to keep your favorite accessories in good shape.

* Store your jewelry in plastic bags or in a covered box* Take off your accessories before you apply perfume or lotion* Don't wear your fashion jewelry while cleaning.* If you need to clean your pieces, don't use soap or jewelry cleaner, try Windex. Then rinse with water and dry carefully. (NOTE: Never use silver cleaner - it can strip a silver finish in seconds!)* Remove your special pieces when showering, working out or sleeping
